Installing in single user mode is useful for a few different reasons:
caching is simpler. I ran into issues trying to pull the eval cache from /root which is why I did this in the first place
AWS credentials are more straight forward for s3 caches. One does not have to copy credentials to /root in single user mode
Potential issues/improvement
I have a Nix secret key for signing in my extra_nix_config and as is, this change initially broke it, since it expected the key at installation time.
I worked around it by simply placing the key before the install action, but I'd like to at least figure out why this didn't happen in daemon mode.
